I just thought this would be interesting as I start trying to do a more run-focused period of training....

For me, a run focused period is any time that I'm running more often than 2x/wk.  I typically do all 3 sports 2x a week in regular, balanced (in my mind anyway) training.

I'm trying to shift to a more run focused regimen too. Right now I'm aiming for at least 4 times per week. That will be an improvement for me if I can keep it going.

Three days per week, four if I add a 2-miler to make a brick. But...

I also try to hit the elliptical trainer three times a week as a surogate for running. So maybe I could say 7 times a week...

My next races are 5k's, so I'm running 6 days a week. When I'm training for tri's it's probably 3-4 times a week.

Well, I'm in 1/2 Marathon training so its 5 days a week right now.  During tri training, its 3 or 4 depending on bricks or transition runs.

I've been on a 2 run, 2 swim, as many rides as I can get schedule. As the rides fall off with the fall weather I'm picking up with the running. I want to see if I can PR at a 5k race I'm running in November.

Aiming for 4-6 runs/wk during the off-season now.  Includes some 2-a-days, so say 4 days.

5-6 days per week for me.  No matter how hard I try I just can't break the habit.  Now biking, that is a whole different story.

I'm currently on 2 bikes, 2 runs, 2 swims and 3 gym sessions
BUT earlier in year when I didn't have access to bike and not much swimming my trainer did a run focused schedule for me which was 4 days per week. 3 focusing on various things like form or speed and one long run.

Usually five times a week...sometimes six. Although I'm a long-time cyclist and I love the pool, nothing combats stress for me like running does. It's also my best bang for my buck....I can get a good workout in a half hour if I'm pressed for time. And I'm often pressed for time.

Uusally four.

I like running more than swimming & biking. It takes less time to get ready for a work out: all you need is to put your sneakers on. No schlepping helmets and special shoes, or following the pool's schedule, or reeking like chlorine afterwards.

I think it would average out to around four but it depends on the part of my season I am in. During my run focus, it might be five or six, during swim and bike focus as few as three and during the season, usually four or five. This week, since I just finished my last race on Sunday, it's zero . After that I'll go back to three runs a week until my run focus in Nov or Dec.

edited to add - I did a run focus last Nov and Dec if you are interested in looking at how I structured it.
